I personally own an NASB, NIV, and two ESVs and would love to have my
NASB and NIV available in Bibletime/GnomeSword (I seem to go back and
forth over them.  lately, I've preferred Bibletime, but I'll be trying
Gnomesword again after reading your updates).

I would be very interested in the scripts you wrote, if your offer is
still available.  What site(s) are you using for the texts?

So I noticed.  sheesh.  I'm an Ubuntu user (currently).  wow.  Thanks
for the links to the updated repositories.  And even more thanks for all
your hard work on GnomeSword.  I have been impressed with the quality of
the Sword Project and the two well-developed front ends provided by
GnomeSword and Bibletime.  Thank you.
